KIA EV6 vehicles electric charging control unit damage risk

Kia is recalling certain 2022–2024 EV6 vehicles because the Integrated Charging Control Unit may become damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery, resulting in loss of drive power and increased crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The defect creates a structural vehicle safety hazard (loss of drive power) that directly increases crash risk, meeting the rubric criterion for a severe vehicle defect, even though no specific injuries or deaths are reported in the source.
